Cushman & Wakefield has brokered the $26.4 million sale of The Manors at Brookmere, a 108-home build-to-rent community located in Matteson, Illinois, a south Chicago suburb.

Originally developed in 2016 by national homebuilder Lennar, the transaction represents one of the first sales of a stabilized build-to-rent community in the Chicagoland region. Cushman & Wakefield’s Brad Smith, Jack Maloney and Anna Lovell represented the seller, Haven Realty Capital. The buyer was a joint venture between Ashland Capital and Crest Capital.

The property at 4962 Bennett Drive consists of a collection of contiguous quadplex buildings offering spacious, two-story residences with two- and three-bedroom layouts. Community features include private entrances, as well as attached one- and two-car garages.

“We are seeing a meaningful shift in investor interest toward Chicagoland, driven by fundamentals that stand out favorably on a national level,” said Smith. The Manors at Brookmere is within 15 minutes of major employers, including Amazon, Ford Motor Company and the University of Chicago Health System’s Flossmoor campus.
